Finally got back into this game after a long haitus. I still dont have a good set up for my wheel but its better than the TV tray I was using. Really loving this, I definitely need to get better before jumping online though.

Yep the best way to learn is by putting in a good amount of time in qualifying for the daily races and then entering.
One thing you will always have to accept is that there are always going to be people faster than you. But the great thing about sport mode is the fact that you can have some great mid-pack battles, it's not all about winning. Just jump online, be clean and have fun.
Have had this game for a while and still haven't done my first online race. Will soon though.
Also...WHERE THE HELL IS THE P1?!

Game looks great on a HDR TV but why is it so overly bright and washed out at normal exposure settings? It's way too bright at 0 EV, night time doesn't look like night and all the detail is lost in the sky. It looks way better with the exposure down all the way.
I have a 2017 Vizio M with HDR10 and DolbyVision, HDR has always looked perfect on it, it's just this game that's looking weird.

Weird. On my Sony A1 OLED the HDR is perfect at normal settings.
Finally started playing, now that I got my Drivehub and can use my old G27.
I'll do all the licenses before jumping online.
Couple questions:
Does getting GOLD licenses/sp races gets you different gifts like on previous GTs or yiu just get more money/exp here? I'm currently playing to get all GOLDs but I won't bother as much if it's not gonna net me a sweeter car, lol!
Can't find a way to set-up my default camera and can only change cockpit set-up (height/seating distance) from in-game? Do I have to do it for each car? If yes, will the game remember it when I go back to previously driven cars?
Is there no way to select NEXT event with a button press or something? Do I really need to go each time to the EVENTS panel and pick my next license?
Lastly, is there full control over the HUD this time? Or you can still only go FULL/SOME/NONE? :-(
Thanks!

I'm not sure tbh. I know you need Gold in Circuit Experiences (bronze and silver give you decals). But aim for Gold anyway, it's good exercise and there are trophies for that.
Default camera resets each time you exit the game, but bumper cam is superior cam anyway :P full rear view mirror and radar in the middle is perfection.
Cockpit settings need to be adjusted in race, yes. Every car has its own settings. The game will remember them.
Yeah you can select the next event, it's the icon next to Replay. You can't do it in GT League, for some strange reason.
No, only full/time/none.
It's part of the update, if you can't find it in Arcade mode you probably need to reach a certain level
Just picked this up today. Am I missing something or are the only online choices a) pick a random room and hope a race is starting soon or b) spend 15 minutes qualifying before getting to a race?
I was hoping I could play this by hopping on for a quick online match every now and then and I'm getting the feeling this is not that game

Qualifying is good because
a) it lets you warm up, making you faster during the race and less likely to have an accident...which leads to cleaner races for everyone.
b) The higher you qualify, the better your starting position will likely be. The points you get are determined by finishing place, so this is important if you want to move up in the ranks.
Also, you only need to qualify for a race once per day. There is no instant quickmatch race option though, because the focus of this game is on racecraft and clean driving, so they want everyone to be prepared before racing.
It's true that it definitely leads to a better race. I was substantially better in a race than I was on my first practice lap! It's just the fact between deciding I want to do a race, and actually starting that race, some 20 minutes have gone by. I'll probably just stick to single player for my quick driving fix.
The races are scheduled for the same times every single day, have been since launch I think. It's easy enough to jump in 5 mins before a race is due to start or even less if you've already laid down your qualifying lap for the day
The only semi-serious racing game in existence that will will give you what you want in that sense is Forza. If you want a preview of what a lack of practice/qualifying means for online lobbies then have a look at this guy's YouTube channel:

Believe me, it's for the best. If nothing else the fact that you have to wait for races to start filters out a large number of impatient wreckers.
No the Deluxe version is not worth it. Everything in it can be earned in game with little to no fuss.
Well that was a big fail.
Had a race where I was in third and we´re pitting within 2 seconds of each other. Coming out of the pits I´m 3 seconds behind the first two while underfueling my car. So my brilliant mind thinks they didn´t change tires.
Next race, pretty much an A+ lobby I'm in 13th coming into the pits so I decide to not change tires and underfuel the car a bit. I come out in 4th, my face:
Jesus Christ I'm not doing that again, makes driving on ice seem like a nice relaxing sunday drive compared to that 4th lap just now.

Thanks for the replies man!
Tho I can't believe once again PD hasn't learned how important HUD customization is :(
I wish it was present, as the game has a stupid low fuel warning sentence in red letters right in the middle of the screen that you can't turn off. Just stupid.
The weird thing is that I always get the first pit warning around 0.3 laps left (good), and the second pit warning at 1.3 laps left (bad, it stays on the screen for the entire following lap). Must be a bug.
It gets worse when racing in extremely angled roof cams like the Lambo GT3 one, the warning is exactly on the horizon line IIRC
It's bafflingly stupid and annoying. Like doing a race at Nordschiefe, it'll just be in your way for 6-7 minutes. They could have placed it higher up, come up with a more elegant HUD notification, or just let me turn it off if I want.
It's the thing I actually hate the most in GT Sport.
Are Sony sweeping this game under the rug or what?
No mention of it at E3 at all. A road map for new content would be nice.

There's a lot of offline content now as they've been steadily increasing it since launch but it's still not the old classic GT that many people know and love. The online racing is better than any other console game (arguably ;-) despite some irritations with penalties etc.
Theres like 20 hours just getting gold in challenges and driving school stuff. Theres not much to the actual campaign events and the AI sucks really.
The game was built around online though.
512 BB in a one make daily!!! Such good races already. What a fun car to drive. Just make an entire sport mode league that is just daily races with 512BB.
The left hand slide down into the back hairpin is so brilliant with that car. Come into the left kink fast as shit, get her sliding out wide, down shift let it run to the curb, brake and go for the apex. It is sublime feeling when you get it just right.
I'm guessing July's patch is going to contain this year's Toyota TS050 and only that car because PD.
I'm hoping for dynamic weather and time of day. No idea if it's planned or not. Wish they were a bit better at communicating planned dlc/updates
I would take dynamic time over weather all day. Their tire model is no where near good enough to do wet racing and they are way behind on dynamic dry line modeling. On top of that, damage is never on so what's the point of making it slippery? Also the framerate would probably die with 16 cars and rain spray.
I think rain might get added once PD implement the new tyre physics. I don't see dynamic time of day happening unless the game gets a PS5 patch.
IIRC prebaked rain and TOD will be added in TGS in the near future. Dynamic? I don't think so.
Jumped back in after taking a break, sport mode as great as ever! Any reason they changed DR S to A+ and maybe other changes I should know about? Thanks
Anyone after physical copy of the game and controller it's currently £40 at Tesco Direct

They teased rain in the Honda VGT trailer, but I don't think it'll be dynamic. Likewise I don't think ToD is in the works.
It's probably not their focus this time, where the core of the game revolves around short, competitive online races

It was awkward for German players to be tagged S/S
I have no idea, but an EU FIA Championship finalist said it's coming back "with a twist": https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/the-nurburgring-world-tour-mega-report.378185/
FIA Championships are starting:

I love that Italy is not eligible (why), but they translated the whole thing anyway lol

So I just bought the game and did the first 30 or so Driving School Challenges. Will be playing with a controller and I've had experience with sims as rFactor on PC.
Any tips are welcome. Should I go straight to online after the Driving School? Can I compete with cars I don't own? Also, I don't have anyone to compare times to, so if someone wants to add me I'm "nmbr_nine9" on PSN :)

My main advice would be take the time to qualify well. It's a lot easier to have a nice clean race and do well if you're starting near the front rather than in the middle of the pack. Have a look at what cars the top guys are using but until you go up in rank it's going to be more about how well you can drive the track than differences in car performance.
